| Abstract | A major goal of Earth science research is to understand interactions among tectonic and surface processes that control topographic evolution in regions of active mountain building, particularly in zones of terrane-continent collision at convergent plate boundaries. Early Eocene sedimentary rocks in SW Oregon offer an ideal opportunity to test models for the surface response to collision of the oceanic Siletz terrane with western North America, and regional post-collision adjustments, that affect |
